The joke is on the MAGA crowd. Dotard and his band of traitors is hurting all of us. The difference is that we SEE him for what he is and know what he's doing. They don't have a clue....AND the information is there for all of us to consume. I don't feel badly for them they they refuse to see what's real.

Trump will permanently hold onto his 32% of voters, they don't care WHAT he does...so all he has to do is find 19% of who's left in the voter pool...he can spend millions, do anything, just to get 19%...it won't be hard.
SUCKS!

if 34% stay home discouraged, or are prevented from voting, 33.1% is all he needs. Even less if those votes are concentrated in the "right" states...

Variety has a pretty good article about the interview here http://variety.com/2016/biz/news/dave-chappelle-donald-trump-media-access-hollywood-hillary-clinton-1201910851/

This is what I heard that I thought was pure ignorant.
“What I heard on that tape was gross,” the Observer reported Chappelle saying. “But the way I got to hear it was even more gross. You know that came directly from Hillary.”

Chappelle added that, to him, Trump’s comments could not be classified as sexual assault, according to the Observer, which is published by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, husband to Ivanka Trump.

“Sexual assault? It wasn’t. He said, ‘And when you’re a star, they let you do it.’ That phrase implies consent. I just don’t like the way the media twisted that whole thing. Nobody questioned it,” Chappelle said.

His skills make him one of only a handful I consider comic geniuses.
